Fire Protection and Prevention During Construction
Course No. M-4022	Back to Health & Safety Courses
Credit: 4 PDH
Course Fee: $115.80
Edward P. Brunet, Jr., P.E.

Overview

Construction planning is a daunting task. There are schedules and manpower estimates to complete, planning for material receipt and storage, fabrication and erection sequences to plan. The list goes on…. With all there is to do, fire protection and prevention may not be at the top of the construction engineer’s list of concerns. However, thousands of fires occur on construction sites each year, sometimes resulting in loss of life and substantial property loss.

This course will review OSHA's Fire Protection and Prevention standards contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (29CFR Part 1926, Subpart F). These standards contain the requirements for fire protection and prevention on construction sites.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of the course to earn PDH credits.
